About this class
About Basic 1 mathematics
In Basic 1 (B1), learners following the Standards-Based Curriculum work with numbers to 100, place value in tens and ones, addition and subtraction within 20, halves and quarters, money, time and shapes. It is part of lower primary (B1–B3). Boldungu breaks each topic into short sets of interactive questions so children can practise one skill at a time and come back to anything that needs more work.
